BX25D-1 stopped immediately but I didn't. Head hit the windshield and it exploded into the cab mostly.

Glass can be very odd when either resisting an outside force or giving way to it.

As a youth, we played baseball in the street often. Within hours of each other, I watched a regulation softball hit a neighbor bedroom window without breaking it. Later saw a wiffle ball, just a lazy curving foul tip, hit the same window and it shattered like it had been hit with a sledge hammer.

Glad you are OK!

I have the same model cab but older, with flat glass. I wonder why they went with curved glass .... seems more expensive and complicated to manufacture the glass, frame, doors etc ... even the wiper would have to be specific.

As a concept, curved glass minimizes reflections. Especially at night.
